(A) COMMITTEE DECISION REQUIRED FOLLOWING A SITE VISIT AND/OR PUBLIC SPEAKING:

Decision Plan Number: PL/18/2605/FA P Applicant: Mr N Malik Proposal: Part retention of side extensions and the erection of a roof in a modified form, following the part demolition of existing unauthorised extensions and demolition of the garage at Jasmine Cottage, Wood Lane, Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, SL0 0LA Notes: 1. A site visit was undertaken by Members. 2. The Officer made the following corrections to the report: Page 10, under the ‘Application’ section, the date referred to should read “September 2008”, rather than “September 2009”; Page 14, third line, should read “appear to be far in excess of what is normally considered acceptable” 3. As the garage had already been demolished this did mean that implementation of the planning permission had already occurred. If there were significant delays to further works, and subsequent completion of works, this would be dealt with under the Council’s enforcement powers as the enforcement notice remained on the site.

Councillor B Gibbs Proposed that the Officer’s recommendation be approved which was seconded by Councillor W Matthews and agreed at a vote.

RESOLVED That conditional permission be approved, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.

Decision Plan Number: PL/19/0061/FA P Applicant: Mr S Chandiram Proposal: Demolition of attached garage to Oak Timers and erection of new detached dwelling to rear at Oak Timbers, Beaconsfield Road, Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire, SL2 3ND Notes: 1. A site visit was undertaken by Members. 2. One further letter of objection had been received, which reiterated and expanded on points already listed in the officer’s report. 3. The Officer made the following corrections to the report: Page 18, under ‘the application’ section, the third paragraph should read ‘the existing attached garage/carport sits at the “northern” flank’ rather than the “southern” flank. 4. A further condition was proposed to ensure that the replacement dwelling and garage would be a good material match with the existing dwelling.

Councillor J Jordan Proposed that the Officer’s recommendation be approved which was seconded by Councillor M Lewis and agreed at a vote.

REASON FOR PLANNING COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION:

This application has been reported to the planning committee due to the nature and scale of the development being proposed, and the level of objection that has been received. It is considered that value would be added to the decision making process if MEMBERS were to carry out a SITE VISIT prior to their determination of this application.

SITE LOCATION The application site is located on the northern side of Stomp Road, which is within the developed area of Burnham, and an area designated as a Suburban Road as set out in the Chiltern and South Bucks Townscape Character Study. The site has been boarded up and consists of a petrol filling station, car showroom, and additional adjoining unit, which prior to its closure was occupied by a clothing retailer. These structures front onto Stomp Road, whilst to the rear of these buildings is a two storey building which appears to have been used for ancillary purposes to the main uses on the site. The site slopes downwards from the north to the south and there is a secondary school located directly to the north, and east.

THE APPLICATION The application proposes the redevelopment of the site to provide a total of 34 residential properties in the form of 17 x 3 bed houses, 2 x 2 bed flats and 15 x 1 bed flats.

The development would be formed of two rows of terraces of dwellings running parallel with Stomp Road. The southern terrace, fronting Stomp Road, would include a three storey block of apartments at its eastern end and 6 two and a half storey houses. The building line is stepped in a number of places to provide variation. The northern terrace would include 11 two and a half storey dwellings, and these will face towards the rear of the southern terrace.

All of the dwellings fronting Stomp Road would take their primary access from Stomp Road, and would be served by a driveway and integral garage. The dwellings within the northern terrace are all accessed by the access point from Stomp Road, (or the alternative access from Opendale Road which would be created by the extant planning permission on the adjacent site), and are provided with off street parking via either garage parking or designated forecourts. The proposed apartments would be provided with parking spaces within the rear courtyard.

All of the three bed dwellings would be served by private gardens, whilst the apartments are served by either a ground floor garden area or balcony. The exception to this are the 4 top floor flats which would not have any private outdoor space.

This proposed development would create a continuation of the residential development that has been approved on the adjoining site, which when complete, would integrate into one another and have the appearance of one development.

TOWN/PARISH COUNCIL Comments dated 4th April 2018: "The Committee resolved to object to the application, stating that the proposal constituted gross overdevelopment in a dense area, and was out of keeping with the locality. Furthermore, the committee cited highway related concerns including the proposed development was located at a busy junction, and would therefore pose a hazard as it would lead to a greater number of cars entering and exiting the main road. There were also concerns that the development would face issues with parking; it seemed that visitor parking was not properly considered, and that parking provision for residents was slightly under the sufficient amount. The Committee also highlighted their disappointment that the developer had not carried out a public consultation that engaged with the local community, as this was promised when the initial development was proposed in 2015."

Further comments received, dated 10th May 2018, which advise that notwithstanding their objections, if the District Council were minded to approve the application that a legal agreement should be entered into to secure a financial contribution towards footway and recreation improvements. Full details of these comments are available to view on the Website.

REPRESENTATIONS Letters of objection have been received from 8 separate sources. Concerns raised include: - Access from Opendale unable to cope with increased traffic; - Excessive number of dwellings; - Insufficient levels of parking; - Overdevelopment; - Too dense; - Not in keeping with the area; - Increased traffic and associated highway and pedestrian safety implications; - Cut through created between two developments; - Are the dwellings providing adequate living space.

POLICIES National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG) South Bucks Core Strategy Development Plan Document - Adopted February 2011: Saved Policies CP1, CP2, CP3, CP6, CP7, CP8, CP9, CP12, and CP13 South Bucks District Local Plan - Adopted March 1999 Consolidated September 2007 and February 2011: Saved Policies EP3, EP4, EP5, EP6, H9, TR5, and TR7. South Bucks District Council Residential Design Guide SPD - Adopted October 2008 South Bucks District Council Affordable Housing SPD - Adopted July 2013

Whilst the revised NPPF replaced the previous Planning Policy Statements and Guidance Notes, it does not replace existing local policies that form part of the development plan. It does state however, that the weight that should be given to these existing local policies and plans will be dependent on their degree of consistency with the NPPF. Therefore, the closer the policies in the development plan to the policies in the Framework, the greater the weight that may be given to them.

Page 15 Appendix

EVALUATION Principle of development 1. The site is located within the developed area of Burnham where new dwellings can be acceptable provided that they do not adversely affect any interests of acknowledged importance, which include factors such as the character and appearance of the area and the amenity of neighbouring properties.

2. The Chiltern and South Bucks Townscape Character Study does designate this site as having an 'Suburban Road' typology, however it is not considered that this designation prevents the introduction of additional dwellings, provided they would not adversely affect the character and appearance of the site or locality in general.

3. In addition to the above, chapter 11 of the NPPF encourages local planning authorities to make an effective use of land. Paragraph 117 of the NPPF states that planning policies and decisions should promote an effective use of land in meeting needs for homes and other uses, while safeguarding and improving the environment and ensuring safe and healthy living conditions.

4. Paragraph 122 of the NPPF highlights that planning decisions should support development which makes the efficient use of land, taking into account; housing need, local market conditions, availability and capacity of infrastructure, maintaining the area's prevailing character and securing well-designed places.

5. In summary, the site is located within the developed area of Burnham where new dwellinghouses are considered acceptable subject to other material planning considerations such as the impact on the character area and neighbouring residential amenities. Furthermore, the proposal would align with the aims of the NPPF in providing additional homes, making effective use of land and achieving sustainable development.

Lawful use of the site 6. It is considered that the lawful use of the site is a sui-generis use (i.e. it does not fall within any specific Use Class). Policy CP10 of the South Bucks Core Strategy seeks to retain employment generating sites. However, employment generating sites are those that fall specifically within the B use classes. As such, the site does not constitute an employment generating site, and the application does not need to be assessed against policy CP10 of the South Bucks Core Strategy.

Design/character & appearance 7. Paragraph 127 point C of the NPPF states that planning decisions should ensure that developments are sympathetic to local character and history, including the surrounding built environment and landscaping setting, while not preventing or discouraging appropriate innovation or change. Point E of paragraph 127 seeks to optimise the potential of the site to accommodate an appropriate amount and mix of development.

8. The resultant density of the scheme still forms an important part of the overall consideration of the proposal. The proposal would result in a density of approx. 106dph. It is acknowledged that this is a high level of density, and one that is higher than the immediately surrounding residential properties. However, it is similar to the extant permission for 23 dwellings on the immediately adjoining site. In

Page 16 Appendix

addition to this, it is considered that new development of whatever density should not be viewed in isolation. Considerations of design and layout must be informed by the wider context, having regard not just to immediate neighbouring buildings, but the townscape and landscape of the wider locality. As such, it is considered that the density figure cannot be looked at in isolation and the impact on the character and appearance of the locality must be carefully assessed, especially in light of the fact the proposal promotes sustainable and efficient use of land.

9. The development does follow the general layout of surrounding development by providing new dwellings running on an east-west axis, fronting Stomp Road. It would in fact provide a continuation of the approved scheme on the adjacent site. Therefore the general approach to the siting of the dwellings within the southern terrace block of dwellings is considered to not appear incongruous or out of keeping, but rather would maintain the existing characteristic of dwellings fronting the highway and incorporating vehicular access and parking directly to the front of the dwellings. The provision of the northern terrace block of dwellings, would also provide a continuation of the dwelling approved on the adjacent site, therefore relating appropriately to that already approved scheme.

10. Policy H9 states that any development should be compatible with the character and appearance of the immediate locality. The Chiltern and South Bucks Townscape Character Study sets the basis for the general typology for this site and immediate vicinity, which is designated as a 'Suburban Road', and this should help guide any proposed development. This study sets out that the area is predominantly made up of detached and semi-detached two storey buildings. Notwithstanding this, it is important to note that the existing buildings on this site do offer a variance to this general typology, as do the nearby three storey flats. Of particular importance in this instance is the approved scheme on the adjacent site whereby almost identical rows of terraces were approved, as well as a three storey element housing a number of flats.

11. Given this variation of built form, the type of dwellings approved on the adjacent site, and combined with the consideration of making the most efficient use of land within a sustainable location, it is considered that the principle of redeveloping this site into a mix of dwellings which would include terraced and flatted units, is an acceptable one, and one that meets the local planning policies of providing a mix of size of units.

12. Given this view, it is also considered that the architectural approach to the proposed dwellings is an acceptable and appropriate one, as it follows that which has already been approved on the adjacent site. In addition to this, whilst the wider area is predominantly made up of detached and semi-detached properties, those properties do provide a variety in their style and appearance. In light of this, it is considered that the design and architectural appearance of the proposed dwellings is an acceptable one, and one that would not impact adversely upon the visual amenities of the site or immediate locality. It is considered that the dwellings would enhance the visual amenities of this locality.

13. With regard to the proposed scale, height and massing of the proposed dwellings, as well as the overall level of development being proposed, the proposed building height would vary across the site, with the three storey element having a max. ridge of 12.6m, whilst the two and a half storey dwellings would have a ridge height of 8.1m, matching those of the approved dwellings on the adjacent site. It is acknowledged that the proposed development would display greater ridge heights than the existing buildings do, and the overall scale and bulk of the proposed dwellings would also be greater. Notwithstanding this, it is considered that the proposed size and scale of the dwellings is an acceptable one. Tthe majority of the dwellings would display a ridge height that is exactly the same as

Page 17 Appendix

the approved dwellings on the adjacent site with the only element that would be greater in height being the eastern end of the southern terrace, which extends to three stories with accommodation in the roof. However, it is considered that given the positioning of the eastern end which is adjacent to the open playing fields of the adjacent school, overall, the development would not appear overdominant or obtrusive within the street scene, nor would it appear uncharacteristically high or bulky. It is considered therefore that the proposed dwellings would not adversely impact upon the character or appearance of the locality or the visual amenities of the existing street scene, as a result of their size and scale.

14. Moving on to consider the issue of the overall level of development, which itself returns to the issue of density. The development would retain a minimum distance of 1m to the eastern boundary, and whilst the development would abut the western boundary of the site, it is at this point where it would adjoin with the adjacent residential development and create one block of terraced properties. The buildings fronting Stomp Road are set back the same distances as the adjacent approved scheme, whilst the rear gardens also display the same levels of depthness. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed development does provide an acceptable level of spaciousness, and the size and scale of the proposed dwellings is not unacceptably disproportionate to the size of the rear gardens that would serve them. As such, it is considered that the proposal would not appear as a cramped overdevelopment of the site. Such a view would therefore translate into the proposed level of density also being considered acceptable.

15. As such, overall, it is considered that the proposed development would not adversely impact upon the character or appearance of the site or locality in general, nor would it prejudice the specific characteristics of the area as set out in the Townscape Character Study.

Residential amenity 16. With regard to the neighbouring school, which is located to the north and east of the application site, given the distances retained to that property, it is considered that the proposed development would not appear overdominant or obtrusive when viewed from that property, and neither would it lead to an unacceptable loss of light. It is also considered that the privacy of the users of the school would not be prejudiced by the proposed development.

17. Given the distances retained to all other neighbouring properties, it is considered that there would be no adverse impacts on their amenities as a result of the proposed development.

Parking/Highway implications 18. In terms of parking provision, a development of this number and size of units requires a total of 53 parking spaces in order to meet the standards as set out in the Councils Local Plan. Within the red line of the application site, a total of 52 parking spaces are provided. A further space is provided just outside the red line of the application site, and within the land that forms the adjoining development, and is owned by the applicant. This space is an extra parking space that was created during the course of amendments to the adjacent scheme, and is not needed to meet the parking provision requirements on that site. It is the intention of the applicant that if planning permission is granted for this current application, then the two sites would be constructed together to form one development, and which would then provide a policy compliant level of parking provision across the two site. In light of this, it is considered that the proposal would be served by an adequate level of parking provision, and that there are no grounds to object to the scheme under policy TR7.

Page 18 Appendix

19. From a highway perspective, the County Highways Authority raise no objections to the proposal from a highway and pedestrian safety point of view. They consider that the proposed means of access onto Stomp Road is acceptable in terms of its width and visibility, and they consider that the level of traffic created by the development can be accommodated for within the existing highway network. They also consider that there is sufficient space within the site for vehicles to turn and manoeuvre adequately. They have requested that a financial contribution be made by the applicant in order to improve existing pedestrian/cycling facilities on Stomp Road, which is currently subject to substandard sections of footpath. The applicant has confirmed that they agree to this contribution, which can be secured by way of a legal agreement.

20. Local concern has been raised that the proposal would lead to the access approved for the adjacent scheme, and which leads onto Opendale Road, being used by occupiers of this current scheme. Given that the development would be one, with the internal access road running between the two sites, it is a possibility that occupants of the currently proposed scheme could use the access from Opendale Road. The County Highway Authority have assessed this scenario and still conclude that the potential increase in the use of the Opendale Road access would not lead to any unacceptable highway implications or danger.

21. Whilst local residents and the Parish Council have raised concerns over the highway, parking and pedestrian implications of this scheme, in light of the above, it is considered that the proposal adheres to policies TR5 and TR7, and there are no grounds to refuse the application relating to highway or pedestrian safety.

Affordable housing 22. Policy CP3 of the Core Strategy sets out the Councils affordable housing requirements. It requires that schemes of 5 or more units must provide 40% of the proposed units as affordable housing. If this cannot be achieved, then it would be for the applicant to demonstrate and justify this, providing a viability assessment setting out what they consider to be a more appropriate amount or justifying zero provision.

23. In this case, the applicant has submitted that it is not viable to provide any form of affordable housing provision, be it on site or in the form of a financial contribution. The District Valuation Service (DVS) have undertaken an independent viability appraisal and have also concluded that it is not possible for the scheme to provide any form of contribution towards affordable housing. Further to this, given the significant amount of time that has passed since the application was first submitted, and the revisions that have taken place within the NPPF, the Council has instructed a further independent viability appraisal to be undertaken by an alternative consultant, this being JLL. They have undertaken an up to date viability appraisal and have also considered that it is unviable for the scheme to provide any form of contribution towards affordable housing.

24. In light of this advice from JLL, it is considered that there are no grounds upon which a contribution towards affordable housing can be sought, be it on site or in the form of a financial contribution. It is considered therefore that the application has met the requirements of policy CP3 in that it has successfully demonstrated that it is not viable to provide any form of affordable housing.

Page 19 Appendix

Other matters 25. The Council's Landscape and Tree Officers raise no objection to the proposals subject to the submission of a detailed landscape scheme. It is considered that this can be secured by way of condition.

26. The Environmental Health Section raises no objections to the proposals subject to the inclusion of conditions relating to contaminated land.

27. The local water company raise no objections to the proposals from a sewerage/infrastructure/surface water point of view.

28. Under Core Policy 6, education contributions will be sought for development proposals of 4 or more dwellings. The County Council have confirmed that a contribution towards education provision is required. The applicant has confirmed their agreement to this payment, which can be secured by way of a legal agreement.

29. The Council's Waste Department is satisfied with the proposed development from a waste collection point of view.

30. The proposed inclusion of Photovoltaic panels will supply at least 10% of the energy required for the site from renewable/low carbon sources, in accordance with Core Policy 12.

31. The concerns raised by the Parish Council are generally considered to have been addressed already within this report. With regard to the concerns over a lack of public engagement, whilst the Council would always encourage such activities, it is not a policy requirement for the applicant to do so. In terms of their comments and requests for financial contributions towards footway and recreation improvements, there are no policy requirements upon which the Council can request and secure such contributions, as they are not considered essential to the development.

32. The comment received from a local resident relating to whether the amount of living space being provided is adequate is noted and it can be advised that all of the units meet the national living standards.

Sustainable Development/Planning Balance: 33. The NPPF sets out the presumption in favour of sustainable development, and for decision making, setting out approving development proposals that accord with up to date development plans without delay.

34. Section 2, paragraph 8 of the NPPF sets out three overarching objectives, these are set out as Economic, Social and Environmental objectives. Overall it is considered that the proposed development would align with the aims of sustainable development in line with section 2 of the NPPF. The proposal would fulfil economic objectives in terms of supporting growth. The proposal would result in the creation of temporary jobs during the construction phase of the proposed development.

Page 20 Appendix

A social objective would also be met as the proposal would provide additional housing and would make effective and efficient use of land, whilst giving regard to the local built environment.

Working with the applicant 35. In accordance with section 4 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the Council, in dealing with this application, has worked in a positive and proactive way with the Applicant / Agent and has focused on seeking solutions to the issues arising from the development proposal.

South Bucks District Council works with applicants/agents in a positive and proactive manner by; - offering a pre-application advice service, - updating applicants/agents of any issues that may arise in the processing of their application as appropriate and, where possible and appropriate, suggesting solutions. In this case, South Bucks District Council has considered the details as submitted which were considered acceptable.

Any onsite flooding between the 1 in 30 and the 1 in 100 plus climate change storm event should be safely contained on site; - Details of proposed overland flood routes in the event of system exceedance or failure, with demonstration of flow direction.

Reason: To prevent the increased risk of flooding, to improve and protect water quality, improve habitat and amenity, and ensure future maintenance of the surface water drainage system. (Policy CP13 of the South Bucks District Core Strategy (adopted February 2011) refer, and the National Planning Policy Framework.)

Page 24 Appendix

14. Development shall not begin until a whole life maintenance plan for the site has been submitted to and approved in writing by the District Planning Authority. The plan should set out how and when to maintain the full drainage system (e.g. a maintenance schedule for each drainage/SuDS component) during and following construction, with details of who is to be responsible for the maintenance. The plan shall subsequently be implemented in accordance with the approved details.

If the road is to be adopted, the developer will agree to enter into a deed of easement pursuant to Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980 to allow the Highway Authority to access the SuDS system to preserve the integrity of the highways system, for the purpose of emergency repair and maintenance.

Reason: To prevent the increased risk of flooding, to improve and protect water quality, improve habitat and amenity, and ensure future maintenance of the surface water drainage system. (Policy CP13 of the South Bucks District Core Strategy (adopted February 2011) refer, and the National Planning Policy Framework.)

15. Prior to the first occupation of the development, a verification report carried out by a qualified drainage engineer must be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority to demonstrate that the Sustainable Urban Drainage System has been constructed as per the agreed scheme.

Reason: To ensure that the sustainable drainage system is constructed to the technical standards. (Policy CP13 of the South Bucks District Core Strategy (adopted February 2011) refer, and the National Planning Policy Framework.)

Reason: To ensure a satisfactory resultant appearance and standard of amenity of the site. (Policy EP3 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999) refers.)

17. No works (excluding demolition) shall take place until details of the proposed finished floor levels of the dwellings and of finished ground levels in relation to the surrounding properties have been submitted to and approved in writing by the District Planning Authority. Thereafter the development shall be implemented and retained in accordance with these approved details.

Reason: To ensure that construction is carried out at suitable levels having regard to the amenities of neighbouring properties. (Policy EP3 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999) refers.)

18. All external lighting units intended for this site, shall be erected and directed so as to avoid nuisance to residential or other accommodation in close proximity to the site.

Reason: To protect the amenities of the area. (Policy EP3 of the South Bucks District Council Local Plan (adopted March 1999) refers.)

Page 25 Appendix

19. Prior to any works commencing a site dust management plan shall be submitted and approved in writing by the District Planning Authority. This document shall demonstrate how site generated dust from all activities associated with this site is to be managed daily. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: To protect the amenities of adjoining properties. (Policy EP3 of the South Bucks District Local Plan(Adopted March 1999) refers).

20. Prior to the commencement of development (or such other date or stage in development as may be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority) the following components of a scheme to deal with the risks associated with contamination of the site shall each be submitted to and approved, in writing, by the local planning authority:

i) A site investigation scheme, based on (i) to provide information for a detailed assessment of the risk to all receptors that may be affected, including those off site. This should include an assessment of the potential risks to: human health, property (existing or proposed) including buildings, crops, pests, woodland and service lines and pipes, adjoining land, ground waters and surface waters, ecological systems, archaeological sites and ancient monuments.

ii) The site investigation results and the detailed risk assessment (i) and, based on these, an options appraisal and remediation strategy giving full details of the remediation measures required and how they are to be undertaken.

iii) Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme and prior to the first use of the development, verification report that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced together with any necessary monitoring and maintenance programme and copies of any waste transfer notes relating to exported and imported soils shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority for approval. The approved monitoring and maintenance programme shall be implemented.

Reason: To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other off site receptors. (Policy EP3 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999) refers).

21. In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported in writing immediately to the Local Planning Authority. An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken, and where remediation is necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority. Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors. (Policy EP3 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999) refers).

INFORMATIVE(S)

1. INFORMATIVE -It is the responsibility of the developer/applicant to ensure that the development proceeds in accordance with the approved details and in compliance with any conditions on the planning permission. The condition(s) on this planning permission that appear in bold text are known as conditions precedent. These are conditions which require compliance before any development whatsoever starts on site. Where conditions precedent have not been complied with any development purporting to benefit from the planning permission will be unauthorised and a breach of planning control. The Development Control section will not normally approve details required by a condition precedent retrospectively. A new planning application will usually be required under these circumstances.

Conditions precedent must be formally confirmed as being complied with by the District Planning Authority prior to commencement of work. Formal discharge/compliance may also be required for other conditions. Any requests for the discharge/compliance of conditions must be submitted to the District Planning Authority in writing. Each such written request to discharge/compliance any conditions will require payment of a separate fee. (SIN02)

2. INFORMATIVE: Due to the close proximity of the site to existing residential properties, the applicants' attention is drawn to the Considerate Constructors Scheme initiative. This initiative encourages contractors and construction companies to adopt a considerate and respectful approach to construction works, so that neighbours are not unduly affected by noise, smells, operational hours, vehicles parking at the site or making deliveries, and general disruption caused by the works.

Page 27 Appendix

By signing up to the scheme, contractors and construction companies commit to being considerate and good neighbours, as well as being clean, respectful, safe, environmentally conscious, responsible and accountable. The Council highly recommends the Considerate Constructors Scheme as a way of avoiding problems and complaints from local residents and further information on how to participate can be found at www.ccscheme.org.uk. (SIN35)

3. The applicant is advised that the off-site works will need to be constructed under a Section 184 of the Highways Act legal agreement. This Small Works Agreement must be obtained from the Highway Authority before any works are carried out on any footway, carriageway, verge or other land forming part of the highway. A minimum period of 3 weeks is required to process the agreement following the receipt by the Highway Authority of a written request.

Page 29 Appendix

REASON FOR PLANNING COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION: This application has been reported to planning committee due to the level of objection that has been received. Due to the nature of the application and the significant level of local concern it is considered that value would be added to the decision making process if MEMBERS were to carry out a SITE VISIT prior to their determination of this application.

SITE LOCATION The application site comprises of a detached dwellinghouse situated on the north of Saxon Gardens. Saxon Gardens is a cu-del-sac road branching off Hill Berry. The western and northern boundary of the application site is on the corner of Rectory Road and Hill Berry. The application site is located within the Green Belt.

The site is located adjacent to the Taplow Village Conservation Area. The boundary to the north and the junction of Berry Hill and Rectory Road acts as the principal gateways into the conservation area and heart of Taplow Village. The application site is outside the conservation area.

THE APPLICATION Permission is sought for a demolition of existing dwelling and erection of a detached dwelling, detached garage, swimming pool and gates.

The existing two storey dwelling would be demolished and replaced by a new two storey flat roof dwelling which would be sited in slightly different location. The proposed elevation would face towards the corner of Berry Hill and Rectory Road and set back approximately 19m from the highway. It would have a maximum ridge height of approximately 6.7m and main part of the dwelling would reduce to approximately 5.8m. The dwelling would also be set on a lower ground level.

A new detached garage would be sited 2.5m away from the main dwelling, projecting further towards the rectory road. It would consist of 2 bays and have flat roof with a maximum height of 2.8m.

During the course of the application amended plans were received to reduce the size of the dwelling, additions of entrance gates and a landscaping plan have also been submitted.

An application for a Certificate of Lawfulness (reference: 17/01898/CLOPED) was recently granted for a new access to serve the property. Work to create the access has begun and does not form part of this application.

RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY PL/18/2735/SA- Application for certificate of lawfulness for proposed two storey rear, single storey sides, rear and front porch extensions. Conditional Permission. 90/00573/APPLIC- Conversion of garage to bedroom and erection of single storey extensions to form bathroom, study and double garage. - Conditional Permission.

Page 30 Appendix

81/00989/APPLIC- Conversion of garage to bedroom and erection of single storey extensions to form bathroom, study and double garage. Conditional Permission.

TOWN/PARISH COUNCIL Response received (11.12.2018): Objection The proposed dwelling, although immediately outside the Taplow Village Conservation area is still in an area of very high quality buildings and it is important to ensure that the building is of sufficient quality. The application asserts that it will be of high quality but there is nothing in the application to substantiate this. The applicant should be required to supply more information as to the design and construction of the building to allow its quality to be assessed. A much clearer depiction of the appearance of the buildings is needed, beyond the outline sketch of the application. Identification of textures and materials (beyond glass) is needed for a proper assessment of real quality and sustainability. The applicant has received approval from you for a new entrance on to Rectory Road but we are not aware as to whether a kerb lowering licence has been issued. Total responsibility for this new access lies between the road responsibilities of Bucks CC and yourselves as planners. This division of responsibilities should not mean that the great concerns of all local residents to the impact of this new exit should be ignored. You have received a number of well documented objections identifying the problems that will be created. The site diagrams show the layout of the proposed access to Rectory Road. Given the narrowness of the road and the proximity of the entrance to the blind bend on Rectory Road and oncoming traffic turning in from Berry Hill, the splays shown at the entrance do not appear to be sufficient to ensure the best vision of approaching traffic, particularly in view of the congested other half of the carriageway. They should be re-assessed. If never-the-less the new access is permitted, the application must be denied until the applicant has submitted a Construction Phase Access Statement. The difficulties and dangers of access via a new entrance are significant and must be addressed before any approval is granted. The Statement must specifically cover at least the following: - No construction traffic can approach the site from the eastern end of Rectory Road. This road is narrow and congested with short sight lines and many children across the day due to the presence of the primary school and a playgroup. - Construction traffic turning in from Berry Hill from the south creates significant collision risk. The turn-in is blind to oncoming traffic from Cliveden Road. Turning vehicles can easily be blocked by oncoming vehicles on Rectory Road. Large, slow construction vehicles create a very real risk of collision. A banksman should be mandated to manage such turning traffic. - It can be seen from the application drawings that the proposed new access is relatively narrow. At least during the construction phase the access must be wide enough for large vehicles to turn in without requiring access to the other half of the carriageway. The other carriageway is in full use for existing residents parking and it is not acceptable that they should be seriously inconvenienced over the construction phase. To properly appreciate the significant concerns raised, planning officers must visit the site. For these reasons the application should be refused in its present form. [Officer note: The new vehicular access to the site was granted a Certificate of Lawfulness under reference: 17/01898/CLOPED. The access does not therefore require planning permission and does not form part of this application.]

Page 31 Appendix

REPRESENTATIONS 20 letters of objection received. The main points are summarised as follows:

- Concerns of safety of the access onto Rectory Road to both drivers and pedestrians; - The new access is close to the junction of Berry Hill and Rectory Road; - The access counter to the purpose of the Taplow Village Conservation Area; - Cars parked on Rectory Road restricting the highway opposite the access way; - Large vehicles would not be able to turn into the property from Rectory Road when approaching from the east and entry from the west approaching Berry Hill could easily result in the junction being blocked; - The access alters the view from the Grade 2 Listed Building - Hill House; - Works have started for the driveway; - Due to the old gravel pit the excavation work in the area needs to be taken very seriously; - The design of the proposed dwelling is out of character with the surrounding properties; - Concerns the old oak tree may be cut down.

CONSULTATIONS Buckinghamshire County Highways Authority: I understand an application of Certificate of Lawfulness (17/01898/CLOPED) has been approved for the vehicular access sited to the north of the plot fronting Rectory Road. The approved access via this Certificate of Lawfulness is currently being constructed. Summary - No objection. (07.06.2019): No objection.

Arboriculturist: No objection subject to condition.

Ecology Officer (09.04.2019): (05.07.2019): The surveys undertaken in 2019 have confirmed the presence of a Soprano Pipistrelle bat maternity roost within the site. If minded to approve, the development must be undertaken in accordance with the recommendations of the bat survey assessment letter (12th June 2019), including obtaining a European Protected Species Mitigation Licence from Natural England and provision of artificial roost features.

Conservation/ Listed Building Officer (07.01.2019): Summary: No objections, subject to the confirmation of the boundary treatments and landscaping scheme or it would need to be appropriately conditioned alongside the conditions noted below.

(29.01.2019): In addition to my previous comments I would like to highlight the importance of the boundary between the site and conservation area.

Page 32 Appendix

The existing rear boundary of the site forms part of the boundary to the conservation area and the junction of Berry Hill and Rectory Road also acts as one of the principal gateways into the conservation area and heart of Taplow Village. To the north of the site is the Grade II listed Hill House. The existing green boundary treatment to the site provides a pleasant setting to the listed building (opposite) and street scene of the conservation area, particularly when viewed from the public realm. Loss of or inappropriate alterations to this boundary would be considered significantly harmful to the character and appearance of the conservation area. A landscaping condition relating to the treatment of this boundary is essential in preserving the appearance of the boundary, conservation area and setting of the listed building.

POLICIES National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG) South Bucks Core Strategy Development Plan Document - Adopted February 2011: Policies: CP8 and CP12 South Bucks District Local Plan - Adopted March 1999 Consolidated September 2007 and February 2011: Policies: GB1, GB11, C1, C6, EP3, EP5, H9 and TR7 South Bucks District Council Residential Design Guide SPD - Adopted October 2008

EVALUATION Principle of development 1. The site is located within the Metropolitan Green Belt where replacement dwellings will only be permitted provided that they comply with the NPPF and Local Plan policy GB11.

2. The NPPF was published on the February 2019 and whilst this replaced the previous Planning Policy Statements and Guidance Notes, it does not replace existing local policies that form part of the development plan. It does state however, that the weight that should be given to these existing local policies and plans will be dependent on their degree of consistency with the NPPF. Therefore, the closer the policies in the development plan to the policies in the Framework, the greater the weight that may be given to them. With regard to this specific application, it is considered that all of the relevant local policies, as highlighted above, are in accordance with the NPPF, and as such, it is considered that they should be afforded significant weight and that it is considered appropriate to still assess this current application against the relevant local policies set out above. The exceptions to this are policies GB1 and GB10 which are not entirely in accordance with the NPPF. Where there is a difference or conflict in policy, then the NPPF takes precedence.

Green Belt (Proposed Dwelling and Garage) 3. Paragraph 133 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that the Government attaches great importance to Green Belts. The fundamental aim of Green Belt policy is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open; the essential characteristics of Green Belts are their openness and their permanence. Paragraph 145 of the NPPF states 145 local planning authorities should regard the construction of new buildings as inappropriate in the Green Belt. However, exceptions to this include exist the replacement of a building, provided the new building is in the same use and not materially larger than the one it replaces. Furthermore, guidance for Policy GB11 of the Councils Local Plan (adopted March 1999) states 'the replacement dwelling would be for a single

Page 33 Appendix

family occupation and the size of the replacement dwelling would be no greater than that the original dwelling plus any extension which would comply with the terms of Local Plan Policy GB10.

4. The existing dwelling currently has a total floor area of 260 sq metres and under Policy GB10 this could be increased to 391.2 sq metres. The proposed dwelling and garage would have a floor area of 532.1 sq metres. The proposed dwelling and garage are therefore materially larger than the original dwelling plus any extensions permissible under Policy GB10.

5. However, in this instance, the agent has put forward a case for a fall-back position for extensions which could be constructed under permitted development. As set out in the planning history above, Certificate of Lawfulness's have been granted for various further extensions to the existing dwelling and would result in a dwelling with a total floor space of approximately 500 sq metres. Given the design, location and nature of these extensions it is considered that they provide a practical and reasonable way of extending the existing dwelling, and therefore in this specific instance provides a legitimate fall-back position and forms a material consideration which should carry weight in the assessment of this application.

6. The proposed replacement dwelling and garage would have a total floor area 532.1 sq metres. As such, the proposal results in slightly more floorspace than could practically and reasonably be built on site if the existing dwelling were to be extended under permitted development (500 sq metres). It is however relevant that, due to its modern flat roof design, the proposed dwelling does not include any roof volume above the first floor level and this reduces the overall volume of the building when compared to the fallback position. In this respect the overall volume of the proposed building would be 1508 sq metres which is lower the fall-back position of 1593 sq metres. In addition, the proposed dwelling would have a lower maximum height than the existing (6.7 metres compared to 7.8 metres for the existing) and its overall height would be further reduced by lowering its slab level within the site such that the roof of the new dwelling would be approximately 1.4m lower than the ridge height of the existing. Furthermore, the footprint of the proposed dwelling and garage would be smaller than that of the fall-back position and it would have a lesser total width resulting in an overall reduction in the spread of built form across the site. Taking all of this into account it is considered that the proposed building would not be materially larger than the existing dwelling plus any extensions that could be constructed under permitted development and would not result in a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt and its purposes.

7. In conclusion, it is acknowledged that the proposed dwelling and garage would be materially larger than that which currently exists on site. However, the existing dwelling could be significantly extended using permitted development and this fall-back position forms a material consideration in the assessment of this application. Overall it is considered that the proposed dwelling would not be materially larger than the fall back positon and would not result in greater harm to the openness of the Green Belt. It is therefore considered that, in this instance, there are very special circumstances to justify the proposed development and no objections are raised with regard to impact of the proposed dwelling and garage on the Green Belt. This is subject to a condition removing permitted development rights from the permitted dwelling.

Green Belt (Swimming Pool) 8. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) allows, within the Green Belt, the provision of appropriate facilities for outdoor sport and outdoor recreation as long as they preserve the openness of the Green Belt and do not conflict with the purposes of including land within it. Policy GB10 of the

Page 34 Appendix

Local Plan states that ancillary developments within residential curtilages in the Green Belt are generally acceptable provided that it would be of a small scale in relation to the dwellinghouse and of a small scale in relation to the residential curtilage. As the proposed swimming pool would be flush with the ground level, openness would be largely preserved and it is considered that this proposal would constitute appropriate development that would not harm the purposes of the Green Belt.

Design/character & appearance 9. The NPPF at Section 12, under the heading "Achieving well-designed places" sets out guiding principles for the operation of the planning system. One of the principles set out is that authorities should always seek to secure high quality design.

10. Local Plan policy EP3 states that development will only be permitted where its scale, layout, siting, height, design, external materials and use are compatible with the character and amenities of the site itself, adjoining development and the locality in general. Poor designs which are out of scale or character with their surroundings will not be permitted.

11. The application site is located at the end of the cul-de-sac of Saxon Gardens and backs onto Rectory Road. Whilst the existing dwelling currently fronts Saxon Gardens it is set well back from its front boundary and its location at the end of the cul-de-sac is such that it does not form an important feature within this street scene.

12. The proposed dwelling would alter the orientation of the property such that it would front Rectory Road and would be served by a new vehicular access onto this road. The new orientation of the dwelling would reflect the adjoining dwelling to the east and given its location it is not considered this change would result in harm to the character of the area. It is also of relevance that the vehicular access has already been the subject of a certificate of lawfulness and therefore does not require planning permission and is not the subject of this application.

13. The proposed dwelling has been designed with a modern flat roof, ‘Art Deco’ style. It is acknowledged that, this is not a style that is commonly seen elsewhere within the immediate locality. However, the overall character of the wider area is mixed with is different building sizes and designs and within this context it is not considered that the principle of introducing a dwelling of this general contemporary style and appearance would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area. Notwithstanding this, the proposed dwelling still needs to be of an appropriate size, height and scale.

14. The proposed dwelling would be substantial in size. However, it would be sited within a large plot and would not appear unduly large in comparison with other substantial buildings in the locality, including the immediate neighbour to the east, Autumn House. The dwelling would also be set a significant distance from Rectory Road and would be set in from all other boundaries, to retain the spacious character of the existing plot. It is acknowledged that the bulk and massing of the proposed dwelling is different to that of a more traditional styled dwelling, due to its flat roof design, however the dwelling would be significantly set back from the highway and the land levels decrease north to south such that the highway is on a higher land level than the proposed dwelling. It is not considered to appear prominent within the street scene as to result in significant harm to the character of the area.

Page 35 Appendix

15. The proposed gates would be metal rails and would be set back a sufficient distance from the highway as not to appear overly prominent within the street scene. It is therefore considered that it would not cause significant harm to the dwelling or the character of the surrounding area.

16. Overall, it is considered that the proposed replacement dwelling is of an appropriate and acceptable size, height and scale. It is considered that the site would retain a level of spaciousness that is appropriated for the locality. It is considered that the proposed dwelling would not appear over dominant or obtrusive within the street scene, nor would it appear disproportionate to the site within which it sits.

17. Subject to the normal condition to control use of facing materials, the scale and siting of the development is considered to be acceptable when considered in terms of policies EP3 and H11 of the South Bucks District Local Plan, and the standard of design would comply with advice in Appendix 8 of the Plan. The development would be in accordance with NPPF guidance.

Conservation Area 18. The proposed site existing rear boundary of the site forms part of the boundary to the conservation area and to the north of the site is Grade II Listed building Hill House. The existing property dates from the 1970s and is not considered to be of any particular historic or architectural interest. It is noted that the frontage of the site forms the principal gateway into the conservation area and there is vegetation on the northern boundary although the vegetation does not benefits from any tree prevision order.

19. The Conservation / Historic Buildings Officer has raised no objections to the proposal but has highlighted that the loss of vegetation and/or the introduction of inappropriate boundary treatment along the boundary with Rectory Road could potentially harm the conservation area. The applicant has submitted amended plans to show the retention of the existing boundary fence and landscaping along with planting of new trees. If planning permission is granted it is considered reasonable to conduction the landscaping for 5 years. It is also considered necessary to remove permitted development rights for new fencing / walls along the front boundary

20. In terms of design of the dwelling it is significantly different to the existing and surrounding properties with its Art Deco concept which is considered acceptable subject to the use of high quality materials and finished which relate to the style of the building.

21. The Conservation Officer also raised concerns about the new access point. However, as set out above the access does not form part of this application.

22. Taking the above into account no objections are raised with regard to the impact of the development on the conservation area.

Residential amenity 23. Given the distance retained to the neighbouring properties, it is considered that the proposed dwelling would not appear over dominant or obtrusive when viewed from the either of these neighbouring properties or would it result unacceptable loss of light.

Page 36 Appendix

24. Due to the Art Deco concept there is increase in glazing however the neighbouring dwelling are a sufficient distance as not to result in unacceptable overlooking and therefore not asset under this application.

25. The scale and siting of the development is therefore considered to be acceptable against policies EP3, EP5 and H11 of the Council's Local Plan.

Parking/Highway implications 26. It is noted that there has been a number of objection raised regarding the access from Rectory Road onto the site. However, as set out above, the vehicular access was granted a Certificate of Lawfulness under reference: 17/01898/CLOPED. The access does not therefore require planning permission and does not form part of this application.

27. The County Council Highway Authority has raised no objection to the proposal. The proposal includes gates which would be set back at least 6m from the highway which is a sufficient distance to allow vehicles to draw off clear of the highway and not result in harm to the highway safety.

28. The proposed site would provide sufficient levels of hardstanding to the front of the dwelling and within the detached garage for at least three off street parking spacing. The proposal therefore complies with policy TR7 of the South Bucks Local Plan.

Other matters 29. Works to trees within the application site are not currently restricted however as part of the application Arboricultural Impact Assessment and preliminary method statement has been submitted. This has been reviewed by the Council Arboriculturist who agrees with the overall conclusion of the report and has no objection subject to the inclusion of two specified conditions. The conditions have been considered in the context of the application and it is agreed that it would be reasonable and necessary in the event that permission is granted.

30. It is considered that a sufficient amount of amenity space would remain within the site curtilage to serve the resulting dwelling.

31. The proposed site has the presence of bat activity within the building, the agent has had a survey undertaken which confirmed the presence of Soprano Pipistrelle bat maternity roost within the site. The Council’s Ecology Officer has received the information submitted and confirms that no objection is raised subject to the proposed development being undertaken in accordance with the recommendation of the bat survey assessment letter (12th June 2019) and conditions. The conditions have been considered in the context of the application and it is agreed that it would be reasonable and necessary in the event that permission is granted.

Page 37 Appendix

Conclusion 32. It is considered that a fair and reasonable balance would be struck between the interests of the community and the human rights of the individuals concerned in the event of planning permission being granted in this instance.

Working with the applicant 33. In accordance with Section 4 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the Council, in dealing with this application, has worked in a positive and proactive way with the Agent and has focused on seeking solutions to the issues arising from the development proposal. South Bucks District Council works with applicants/agents in a positive and proactive manner by; - Updating agent of any issues that may arise in the processing of their application as appropriate and, where possible and appropriate, suggesting solutions. In this case, South Bucks District Council has worked proactively with the applicate and amended plans have been submitted which were considered acceptable.

34. A number of pre-commencement conditions are considered to be reasonable and necessary in the event that planning permission is granted. Agreement of the pre-commencement conditions has been sought and confirmed with the agent for the application.

REASON FOR PLANNING COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION: This application has been reported to the planning committee due to the nature and scale of the application and the level of objection that has been received. Due to the nature of the application and the local concern that has been raised, it is considered that value would be added to the decision making process if MEMBERS were to carry out a SITE VISIT prior to their determination of this application.

SITE LOCATION The site is located on the north east side of Oxford Road, within the developed area of Denham. Oxford Road is characterised by a mix of industrial, trade, distribution and retail uses. The application site itself comprises a two storey red brick office building together with a car park. The property is currently vacant. To the south west of the site on the opposite side of Oxford Road is an open field and a McDonald's. To the north west of the Site is HSS Hire and to the north are single storey residential properties located on Oakside. To the east of the site is the River Colne. Beyond this is a pedestrian footpath that runs along the river and beyond this are residential properties.

THE APPLICATION The proposed development comprises of the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a 4 storey modern and high quality building which will provide permanent self-storage accommodation (Use Class B8). The building will be constructed to enable demountable mezzanine floors to be inserted. The development will also comprise of a service yard, parking, soft landscaping and ancillary works.

POLICIES National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG) South Bucks Core Strategy Development Plan Document - Adopted February 2011: Saved Policies CP8, CP9, CP10, CP12 and CP13 South Bucks District Local Plan - Adopted March 1999 Consolidated September 2007 and February 2011: Saved Policies EP3, EP4, EP5, EP6, TR5, and TR7.

Whilst the revised NPPF replaced the previous Planning Policy Statements and Guidance Notes, it does not replace existing local policies that form part of the development plan. It does state however, that the weight that should be given to these existing local policies and plans will be dependent on their degree of consistency with the NPPF. Therefore, the closer the policies in the development plan to the policies in the Framework, the greater the weight that may be given to them.

EVALUATION Principle of development 1. The site is located within the developed area of Denham where the redevelopment of sites to provide commercial properties can be acceptable provided that they do not adversely affect any interests of acknowledged importance, which include factors such as the character and appearance of the area and the amenity of neighbouring properties.

Proposed Use 2. Whilst currently unoccupied, the existing site has a lawful Employment Generating use (offices), defined as being within use classes B1 to B8. Core Policy 10 emphasises the Council's desire to retain existing employment sites. It is acknowledged that whilst the proposed new use would result in a reduction in the level of people directly employed at the site, it falls within the use class designation of B8 storage, therefore the proposal is in compliance with policy CP10 by virtue of it maintaining an employment generating use at the site.

Design/character & appearance 3. The presence of a commercial property on this site would maintain its existing commercial nature, and therefore in principle, the presence of such a facility is not considered to be inappropriate or out of character for the locality. In fact the area is made up if a mix of residential, retail and commercial properties, and this application would maintain that variety of uses.

4. In terms of the size and scale of the proposed building, it is acknowledged that it would be larger than the existing office building that occupies the site in terms of its height, scale, and massing, as well as extending across a greater extent of the width of the site. Notwithstanding this, it is still considered that it is of an appropriate and acceptable size and scale for the site within which it would be sited. Its main ridge height would be 12m, which is 1.3m higher than the ridge of the existing office building, therefore it is not considered to be excessive for the site or locality in general. It is acknowledged that it would display a greater bulk and massing due to the design of the proposed building and its higher eaves height, however, in the context of the locality and existing level of built form, would not appear overdominant or obtrusive within the street scene or locality in general. The green landscape buffer would be retained to the boundary with the adjacent river, therefore the sites

Page 46 Appendix

relationship and level of spacious that exists with the residential development to the east would remain unchanged. The spaciousness with No.52 would be reduced, but is it considered that the nature and appearance of the existing building at No.52 allows for a building of that proposed, to extend up to it, without compromising their relationship or appearing inappropriate.

5. The building has been designed to have a varied front elevation in order to prevent one large monotonous elevation being created. The various stepped features help to break up the elevation and add interest to it. In addition to this, a varied palette of materials is proposed to further break up this elevation and create a visually interesting facade. It is noted that the use of the standard bright yellow materials, which is a trade mark of 'Big Yellow' facilities, has been kept to a minimum, and rather than large expanses of yellow, it has been integrated with other colours to create a more subtle and softer appearance, one that does not appear stark and dominant within the street scene. It is considered that a combination of the design of the building and the use of the materials proposed result in a building that would not adversely impact upon the character and appearance of the street scene or locality in general.

6. Overall, it is considered that on balance, the proposed development would not adversely impact upon the character or appearance of the site, street scene or locality in general.

Residential amenity 7. It is considered that due to the distances retained to the neighbouring residential properties to the east, located on the other side of the River Colne, combined with the level of screening that would be maintained on site, in the form of the existing row of trees, the proposed development would not adversely impact upon the amenities of these properties in any way.

8. The closest property on the other side of the Oxford Road is the McDonalds Restaurant, and it is considered that given the distances retained to this property, it would not be adversely impacted upon by the proposal.

9. Given the relationship of the proposed development with the neighbouring commercial unit, occupied by HSS Hire, it is not considered that it will be adversely impacted upon.

10. To the rear of the HSS Hire building, further along 'Oakside', are a row of residential dwellings which back onto the application site. These properties have small rear gardens, and it is acknowledged that the proposed new building would be larger than the existing building, as well as projecting closer to the rear boundary of these neighbouring dwellings. Concerns were original raised by Officers over the potential impact that the proposed development would have on the amenities of these properties in terms of it appearing overdominant and obtrusive, as well as a concern of loss of light. As a result of these concerns, the applicant has worked with Officers to reduce the size and scale of the proposed development to a scale and siting that is now considered, on balance, acceptable.

11. The main revisions and reductions have been made to the rear of the proposed building, with it being moved further away from the boundary with the residential properties located within Oakside, and its bulk and massing reduced via a removal of a section of the second and third floor accommodation. The closest neighbouring property is No.1 Oakside,, that appears to have been

Page 47 Appendix

subdivided to provide two properties. Distances of 16m would be retained from the rear elevation of these dwellings to the first floor element of the proposed building, which would display a height of 5.7m. A minimum distance of 25.6m would then be retained to the second and third floor element of the proposed building, which would display an eaves height of 11m, but which would angle away from the boundary with the dwellings. The neighbouring property at No.2 Oakside is set slightly further away, and would retain a distance of 23m to the first floor section of the proposed building and 34m to the second and third floor section. No.3 Oakside would retain even greater distances. It is considered that these distances when combined with the height and scale of the proposed building and its siting, including the fact that the tallest section is angled away, are sufficient to prevent the proposed development from appearing overdominant and obtrusive when viewed from the rear of these residential properties.

12. As part of the application, the applicant has submitted a light provision assessment which sets out that any loss of light would be negligible and would be within the thresholds of what is considered acceptable. In light of the result of this assessment, and taking into consideration existing structures and features that already act as a form of sun screen, i.e. the existing office building, line of tall trees and existing commercial property at No.52 (HSS Hire), it is considered that the proposed development would not lead to an unacceptable loss of light to the nearest neighbouring properties, and that there are insufficient grounds to refuse the scheme on loss of light.

13. There are no windows that would provide unacceptable overlooking opportunities into adjacent residential properties.

14. With regard to noise and disturbance, the area immediately adjacent to the rear of the residential properties on Oakside would consist of the parking area and service yard. It is noted that at present this area consists of a parking area, so in part, its use would not change, but it is acknowledged that this area would be used by people unloading and loading their vehicles, as well as this occurring at different times as to what would occur if the site were used as an office. As such, it does have the potential to create a different type and level of noise than that which could currently occur. The Councils Environmental Health Team have assessed the application and reviewed the submitted details and noise assessment, and have concluded that the proposed development would not unacceptably impact upon the amenities of neighbouring residential properties in terms of noise disturbance, subject to appropriate conditions that include restricting the hours of operation to 07:00 to 23:00hrs Monday to Friday, and 07:00-2200hrs Sat/Sun/Bank holidays.

15. The proposed condition, which the applicants have agreed to, prevents the use of the site 24hrs a day, which was a concern raised by the objectors and the Parish Council. In light of the comments from the Councils Environmental Health Team, it is considered that the proposed development would not result in an unacceptable level of noise and disturbance.

Parking/Highway implications 16. The County Highway’s Authority raise no objections to the proposals. They consider that the vehicular access is of an appropriate width and provides adequate levels of visibility. They also consider that there is sufficient space within the site for vehicles to safely turn and manoeuvre. In terms of vehicular movements, they advise that the proposed use would see a decrease in traffic generation.

17. In terms of parking provision, the proposal would provide 10 parking spaces. In accordance with the Councils Parking Standards, as set out in the Councils Local Plan, a scheme of this nature would need to provide between 26 and 80 spaces. The two figures relate to the two levels of floorspace that could be provided within the proposed building. The building will have a permanent amount of floorspace, which would require the provision of 26 spaces, whilst if the total amount of demountable mezzanine floorspace was incorporated into the building, it would require the provision of 80 spaces. As such, it would have a shortfall of between 16 and 70 spaces.

18. Notwithstanding these shortfalls, it is important to note that paragraph 105 of the NPPF sets out that local parking standards for residential and non-residential development should take account of the accessibility of the development; the type, mix and use of development; the availability of and opportunities for public transport; and local car ownership levels; together with an adequate provision of spaces for electric and other ultralow emission vehicles. The current standards set out in the Local Plan are based upon car ownership data from the 1991 census and do not take into account local factors. As such, the standards set out in the Local Plan are not consistent with the guidance in the NPPF. As such, it is not considered that a reason for refusal based purely on these parking standards could be sustained in this instance. It is therefore necessary to consider the proposal with regard to the likely parking demand and site circumstances having regard to guidance in the NPPF.

19. The applicant has provided a transport statement which sets out the specific parking needs for the development proposed. This statement confirms that the proposed self-storage facility does not require this quantum of parking. Based on surveys undertaken of a similar existing BYSS site, the quantum of vehicles expected to visit the site and the duration of time that they remain at the site will require a much lower quantum of parking. The proposed 10 spaces complies with what BYSS consider is appropriate for a self-storage facility of this size from their experiences and surveys of their existing facilities in similar locations. Eight Sheffield style bicycle stands will be provided at the site, to provide space to accommodate 16 bicycle spaces. Given the small number of staff that will be employed at the site at any one time (3 to 4 staff) this quantum of bicycle spaces is considered to be appropriate.

20. Core Strategy Policy CP7 (Accessibility and Transport) seeks to promote sustainable transport and will encourage the use of Travel Plans. A Travel Plan has been submitted with the application which considers mechanisms to encourage staff to travel to the site using sustainable modes of transport. The cycle parking provided on site will help encourage this. In addition to this, the site is located within close proximity to Uxbridge, with the nearest bus stop being located 80m away, with services running to Uxbridge, High Wycombe, Hemel Hempstead, and Chesham. The site is also 1.1km from Uxbridge underground station.

21. Taking this into account it is considered that the site is in a sustainable location and is relatively well served by public transport links when compared to other parts of the District. It is also noted that the County Highway Authority has raised no objection with regard to the parking layout and has confirmed that all spaces are of adequate dimensions and that commercial vehicles will be able to turn within the site. The shortfall in parking is not therefore considered to result in any issues of highway safety.

22. To conclude on parking provision, it is acknowledged that the proposal would not meet the Council's parking standards. However, the Council's parking standards are not consistent with the NPPF. Having regard to the information submitted regarding the parking need for this development as well as the sustainable location of the site it is not considered that an objection to the level of the parking could be sustained in this instance.

Page 49 Appendix

Other matters 23. The Council’s Tree Officer raises no objections and considers that the proposals would not adversely impact upon the existing trees that are on site.

24. The County Ecologist has raised no objections to the proposal subject to the inclusion of appropriate conditions that secure biodiversity management and enhancements.

25. The Environment Agency has advised that the site predominantly lies within flood zone 2 and the development is of sufficient distance from the adjacent river. As such, they have raised no objections to the proposal from a flooding point of view.

26. The Bucks County SUDS team are satisfied that the development can adequately incorporate an acceptable surface water drainage system into it. As such, they raise no objections.

27. Big Yellow do not provide dedicated refuse facilities for customers at their sites, instead customers are directed to take waste off-site and dispose of it themselves. This policy will be implemented at the site and waste facilities will only be provided for staff. As a result, waste generated at the site will be minimal. Refuse collection will take place from within the service yard.

28. The proposed inclusion of Photovoltaic panels will supply up to 74% of the energy required for the site from renewable/low carbon sources, in accordance with Core Policy 12.

29. Concern has been raised that an insufficient level of consultation has been undertaken, however it can be confirmed that the consultation of this application was undertaken in accordance with the Council neighbour notification procedure, and that an appropriate level of neighbouring properties were consulted.

30. Concern has been raised that access to the riverbank will be prevented. There is no public access to the riverbank via the application site. Access to the riverbank on the opposite side of the river remains unchanged. In addition to this, the proposal does not encroach onto the riverbank. The County Ecologist has recommended a condition that requires the submission of details of how the site will be managed during construction so as to ensure that the river bank is not damaged.

31. The Parish make reference to a S106 payment, but there is no policy requirement for this application to make any financial payments via a Legal Agreement.

Working with the applicant 32. In accordance with section 4 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the Council, in dealing with this application, has worked in a positive and proactive way with the Applicant / Agent and has focused on seeking solutions to the issues arising from the development proposal.

PART A

South Bucks District Council Planning Committee

Date of Meeting: 24th July 2019 Parish: Farnham Royal Parish Council

Reference No: PL/19/0254/VRC

Proposal: Variation of condition 16 of planning permission 17/01853/ FUL (Redevelopment of site to provide 8 detached dwellings with integral garages) to amend design of houses on plots 2 and 3 Location: Cut Heath House, Parsonage Lane, Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire, SL2 3PA Applicant: Mr & Mrs R Pomerenke Agent: Mr Robert Clarke Date Valid Appl Recd: 24th January 2019 Recommendation: Council failed to determine application before appeal lodged

Page 57 Appendix

REASON FOR PLANNING COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION Members are advised that an appeal has been lodged against the Council's failure to determine this application within the statutory time period, as such, the application now falls to be determined by the Planning Inspectorate but it is recommended that the Planning Inspectorate be advised that in the absence of an appeal being lodged the District Council would have been minded to refuse this application as per the details contained in the following officers report.

SITE LOCATION The proposal site is substantial in size and is within the developed area of Farnham. The Green Belt does lie immediately to the east of the boundary of the site. The application site excludes the eastern part of land which is within the Green Belt. The area is rural in character, with residential development stretched along the highway, with high degrees of mature screening.

THE APPLICATION Planning permission 17/01853/FUL allows for the redevelopment of the site, subject to a number of conditions. Condition No.16 requires the development to be carried out in accordance with the approved plans and details.

This application has been submitted as the applicant wishes to make some amendments to the approved development. These amendments have been submitted as a variation of condition application due to the fact that they are of a scale and nature that would not constitute a non-material amendment.

The current application seeks to amend the approved plans with respect to the design of the houses approved for plots 2 and 3. The design changes can be summarised as follows:

Introduction of pitched roofs to the front and rear dormer windows;

The raising of the roof to the stair case by 300mm.

In addition to these physical changes, this current application is also accompanied by a financial viability assessment which sets out that it is financially unviable to provide any form of affordable housing within this proposed development be it in the form of on-site provision, or a financial contribution towards off site provision.

All other aspects are the same as what has been approved, therefore it is considered that it is appropriate that this report will only concentrate on determining whether or not these changes are acceptable.

17/01853/FUL Redevelopment of site to provide 8 detached dwellings with integral garages. Conditional Permission.

TOWN/PARISH COUNCIL "Unclear what variation is being requested but the proposed rear, 3rd storey, dormer windows will adversely affect the privacy and amenity of the neighbouring residents."

In addition to the above specific comments, a set of standard comments have been submitted which are relevant to applications within the parish of Farnham and which refer to the fact that the Council should be satisfied that the proposals meet the relevant policy requirements.

REPRESENTATIONS Letters of objection have been received by 14 separate households. Concerns raised include the following: - Lack of details; - Inaccurate information within viability report; - Dispute findings of viability report; - Only granted previously on grounds of provision of affordable housing; - Lack of affordable housing; - Impact on existing highway as a result of construction works/mitigation required; - Never the intention of developer to provide affordable housing; - Not notified; - Dangerous access; - Overdevelopment of site; - Out of keeping and out of character for locality; - Non-compliance with S106.

CONSULTATIONS Tree Officer: No objections

Natural England: No comments to make

SBDC Waste: Concerns raised - further details required

Transport for Bucks: No objections

Independent Viability Consultants (AY): The scheme is able to viably afford a policy compliant financial contribution towards affordable housing, however the inclusion of a single on-site affordable housing unit renders the scheme unviable.

POLICIES National Policy National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG)

Development Plan:

South Bucks Local Development Framework Core Strategy (adopted February 2011)CP3, CP8, CP9. South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999) (Saved policies) GB1, L10, EP3, EP4, H9, TR5, and TR7.

Other material considerations:-

Residential Design Guide SPD Interim Guidance on Residential Parking Standards Affordable Housing SPD Chiltern and South Bucks Townscape Character Study 2017

Page 60 Appendix

EVALUATION 1. The NPPF was revised on the 19th February 2019 and whilst this replaced the previous Planning Policy Statements and Guidance Notes, it does not replace existing local policies that form part of the development plan. It does state however, that the weight that should be given to these existing local policies and plans will be dependent on their degree of consistency with the NPPF. Therefore, the closer the policies in the development plan to the policies in the Framework, the greater the weight that may be given to them.

2. With regard to this specific application, it is considered that all of the relevant local policies, as highlighted above, are in accordance with the NPPF. As such, it is considered that this application should be assessed against the relevant local policies set out above and it is considered appropriate to afford these policies significant weight. Where there is a difference or conflict in policy, then the NPPF takes precedence.

Principle of development 3. This application is submitted under Section 73 of The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and seeks a variation of Condition 16. Applications made under Section 73 must be considered against the Development Plan and any other material considerations, under Section 38(6) of the 2004 Act, and conditions attached to the existing permission. The NPPG also states that "local planning authorities should, in making their decisions, focus their attention on national and development plan policies, and other material considerations which may have changed significantly since the original grant of permission".

4. There have been no changes to the national or local development plan policies, including the publication of the revised NPPF, that would affect the previous decision of the Planning Authority in relation to the redevelopment of the site to provide 8 dwellings, previously approved. As such the principle of the development is agreed.

Design/character & appearance 5. The proposed changes to the dwellings on plots 2 and 3 are considered small scale, and would not adversely impact upon the design or appearance of those dwellings, nor would they result in them appear excessively large or overdominant, over and above that of the approved dwellings.

6. Overall, it is considered that the revisions would not alter the development significantly from that previously approved, and would not have any adverse impacts on the character or appearance of the site, or locality in general.

7. It is acknowledged that the decision notice for the previous application included an informative that read as follows:

It is important to note that the Planning Committee's decision to grant planning permission was made by balancing the need for affordable housing in the area against the high density of housing proposed and the resolution to approve was only made on the basis that three affordable dwellings would be provided onsite as part of the development.

Page 61 Appendix

8. Notwithstanding this, it is Officers opinion that the provision of 8 dwellings as proposed, remains appropriate and acceptable for this site and locality in general, and would not adversely impact upon the character or appearance of the area.

Residential amenity 9. The proposed revisions would not adversely impact upon the amenities of neighbouring properties in terms of loss of privacy, loss of light or appearing overdominant and obtrusive.

Parking/Highway implications 10. The proposed revisions do not have any highway or parking implications. The County Highway Authority raise no objections.

Affordable housing 11. The NPPG sets out guidance and thresholds for when planning obligations relating to affordable housing can be sought on planning applications. This application exceeds the thresholds for when such obligations should not be sought, therefore the Council’s own affordable housing policy can be applied to the application.

12. Policy CP3 of the Core Strategy sets out the Council's affordable housing requirements. It requires that schemes of 5 or more units must provide 40% of the proposed units as affordable housing, with such provision being provided on site in the first instance. If this cannot be achieved, then it would be for the applicant to demonstrate and justify this, providing a viability assessment setting out what they consider to be a more appropriate amount and/or why an off-site provision is more appropriate. It is also relevant to note that the Councils’ emerging Local Plan sets out that there is a clear need to provide more residential development throughout the District and the need to increase the provision of affordable housing throughout the District continues to be an important objective of the Council moving forward.

13. National guidance is very clear, the provision of affordable housing is a key element of the need to create mixed and balanced communities. The requirement for affordable housing is necessary to impose if the need is to be met and a development is to be acceptable, it is directly related to the permitted development and it is fairly related in scale and kind to the development. The policy requirement is thus compliant with Regulation 122 of the CIL Regulations.

14. The previously approved scheme included the provision of 3 on-site affordable housing units which were secured by way of a legal agreement. In approving that application, it is important to note that no evidence had been submitted which demonstrated that it was unviable to provide 3 on-site affordable housing units, and an offer from an registered provider had also been received indicating their interest in taking on the 3 affordable housing units.

15. National guidance, and South Bucks District Council local policies, allow for a reduction in the amount of affordable housing where that is clearly justified in terms of viability. It should be noted that where an affordable housing policy provides for a viability exception, and the absence of the provision of any affordable housing may be "policy compliant", it does not follow that the relief from the requirement to provide any (or the required level of) affordable housing, causes no harm.

Page 62 Appendix

16. This current application is accompanied by a viability assessment which sets out that it is unviable to provide any form of affordable housing, be it on-site or in the form of a financial contribution towards off site provision. As part of the assessment of this current application, the Council has instructed a viability consultancy (AY) to undertake an independent viability appraisal of the scheme. AY conclude that the scheme is not viable when providing even one on-site affordable housing unit. However, contrary to the applicant's viability assessment, AY also conclude that the scheme is viable when providing a fully policy compliant 40% affordable housing provision in the form of a financial contribution towards off site provision, which equates to a total figure of £370,944.

17. In light of the conclusions of the viability assessment undertaken by AY, and the fact that the applicants have failed to agree to and complete a legal agreement to secure the financial contribution towards affordable housing, as set out above, it is considered that the proposal fails to meet the requirements of policy CP3, and that the application should be refused on the grounds of a lack of affordable housing.

Other matters 18. The comments of the Waste Team are noted, and it is considered that as per the approved scheme, details of a bin drop off area near to the property boundary can continue to be obtained by way of condition.

19. The proposed revisions do not result in any other implications over and above that of the approved scheme.

Working with the applicant

20. In accordance with section 4 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the Council, in dealing with this application, has liaised with the applicant in order to try and progress the application in the most appropriate way. In this case, the Applicant/Agent was informed/advised that if the Councils reasonable costs of instructing an independent viability consultant were not covered then the application would be likely to be refused on grounds of viability.

The following recommendation is made having regard to the above and also to the content of the Human Rights Act 1998.

RECOMMENDATION:

Council failed to determine application before appeal lodged

For the following reason:-

1. The NPPF supports the need for affordable housing to promote mixed and balanced communities. South Bucks District Council seeks to secure at least 40% of a development of this size to be provided in the form of units of affordable accommodation, unless it is clearly demonstrated that this is not economically viable. National and local policies require reduced rates of affordable housing based on financial viability to be clearly and robustly

Page 63 Appendix

demonstrated. In this instance, the application is not proposing any form of provision towards affordable housing. This lack of provision has not been robustly justified, and based upon the need to create mixed and balanced communities, and the need for affordable homes, it is clear that this lack of provision will result in harm. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the aims of section 5 of the NPPF, Core Policy 3 of the South Bucks District Local Development Framework Core Strategy (adopted February 2011) and the South Bucks District Affordable Housing SPD (adopted July 2013).

REASON FOR PLANNING COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION: This application has been reported to the planning committee by reason the recommended decision is contrary to the requirements of an enforcement notice issued by SBDC at committee on 04 August 2016.

The aforementioned enforcement notice in respect of the development the subject of this application. Committee members are advised that under Section 180(1)(a) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, where after the service of a copy of an enforcement notice planning permission is granted for any development carried out before the grant of that permission, the notice shall cease to have effect so far as inconsistent with that permission. This means that in the event planning permission is granted for the use of the premises as sought, the enforcement notice will no longer be enforceable and will need to be withdrawn. That said, section 180(3) continues that where a notice ceases to have effect after the grant of a planning permission, this shall not affect the liability of the any person for an offence in respect of a previous failure to comply or secure compliance with the notice.

Due to the nature of the application, it is considered that value would be added to the decision making process if MEMBERS were to carry out a SITE VISIT prior to their determination of this application.

SITE LOCATION The application site is located within the developed area of New Denham and within the Colne Valley Park and a Biodiversity Opportunity Area. The southern boundary of the site abuts the Uxbridge Lock Conservation Area.

The building is a 2 storey flat roof building. The lawful use of the building is for business (Use Class B1) purposes, comprising 2 workshops and ancillary offices.

The application site includes a hard-surfaced area in a rough 'C' shape to the front of the building which extends northwards along the eastern edge of the site adjacent to Willow Avenue and similarly to the west side of the site adjacent to the boundary with the rear of 30 Oxford Road.

THE APPLICATION This is a retrospective planning application for the use of part of the building as a house in multiple occupation (HMO) comprising 11 bedrooms with shared cooking and bathroom facilities.

The proposed HMO use is to occupy part of the building over the ground and first floors which was used for the office accommodation associated with the workshops. There are no external alterations proposed as part of the application.

Within the application site is an area of hardstanding, part of which is to be allocated for bin and recycling storage.

RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY 15/01212/FUL - Change of use from B1 (Office) to a mixed B1 and C3 use (Office and Residential) to provide 4 flats and 2 light industrial units and installation of 2 new windows. Permission refused for following reasons:

1) The proposed development would result in the loss of floorspace for Class B employment uses where it has not been demonstrated that there is no reasonable prospect of the site being used for employment uses. As such, the proposed development would fail to protect this employment site contrary to Core Policy 10 of the South Bucks Local Development Framework Core Strategy - adopted February 2011 and the Guidance Note, Implementation of Core Policy 10 (Employment). 2) Inadequate provision has been made within the application site for the provision and collection of refuse and recycling storage in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the District Council's requirements. As such, the proposed development is contrary to Policies H9, EP3 and TR5 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999).

Enforcement Notice (SBDC reference 16/10011/ENCU): issued 04 August 2016 in respect of 'Without planning permission, the material change of use of the Land from two workshops with ancillary offices within Class B1(c) of the Town and Country Planning (use Classes) Order 1987 ("the UCO") to a sui generis house in multiple occupation and workshop ("the Unauthorised Development")

Requirements of Notice: Cease all use as a house in multiple occupation and remove from the Land all fixtures, furnishings and domestic items brought onto the Land in connection with the house in multiple occupation element of the Unauthorised Use.

Time for compliance: 6 months

Subsequent appeal (ref: APP/N0410/C/16/3158637) dismissed and enforcement notice upheld on 18.05.2017. The enforcement notice should have been complied with by 18.11.2017. Officers have visited the site on 13th June 2019 and note that the notice has not been complied with. . Enforcement officers have been in contact with the applicant/owner and his solicitor since August 2017. The applicant/owner has stated that he served notice on the tenants in August 2017 but they have continued to reside there and have not paid rent (i.e. squatting)

PARISH COUNCIL Objection by reason of traffic/parking, over-development an insufficient parking.

REPRESENTATIONS In support of the application the applicant has submitted the following documents: - Planning Statement - Marketing Report dated March 2019 for period from 31st October 2017 to 31st March 2019 (prepared by Carter Duthrie Estate Agents); - Review of adequacy of marketing undertaken by Carter Guthrie relative to SBDC Guidance

Page 67 Appendix

Note: Implementation of Core Policy 10: Supporting letter prepared by David Charles Property Consultants dated 24 April 2019.

No third party comments have been received in respect of the application at the time of drafting this report.

CONSULTATIONS Transport for Bucks: No objection.

Waste Services: Initially raised concerns for following reason: No plans have been shown for the site to have a communal refuse and recycling collection. As such, at this stage we can only agree to providing this site with a single set of bins in line with other houses in the district. (NB Block Plan submitted with the application does show a dedicated refuse area within the site at the north-east corner, adjacent to Willow Avenue, just to the north of the access to the site. The proposed refuse area is 7m x 2.5m, some 17.5 sq m in area). Revised comments subsequently revised raising no objection.

Housing: In principle the continued use as a House in Multiple Occupation is fine as long as it complies with the Council's minimum standards. If the owner wants to accommodate 11-15 people then additional facilities will need to be provided which shouldn't be too difficult to achieve. I would emphasise that the owner must apply for a HMO Licence as soon as possible.

Joint Planning Policy Team (SBDC and CDC): Overall I consider that the marketing exercise as set out in the Marketing Report, Appendices and Supporting Letter is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with Guidance Note: Implementation of Core Policy 10 (Employment). Having considered all of the points, I consider that sufficient evidence has been submitted to justify a departure from Policy CP10 that normally seeks to protect employment sites.

EVALUATION 1. Planning law requires that applications for planning permission be determined in accordance with the development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

2. In this instance it is necessary to assess the proposal in the context of the LPA's reason for issuing the enforcement notice and as upheld by the Inspector in the dismissing the subsequent appeal.

3. The LPA issued the enforcement notice in respect of the unauthorised material change of use to a mixed HMO and workshop use for the following reasons:

- It appears to the Council that the Unauthorised Development has occurred within the last ten years; - The unauthorised development has resulted the loss of floorspace for Class B employment uses where it has not been demonstrated that there is no reasonable prospect of the site being used for employment uses. As such the proposed development fails to protect this employment site contrary to Core Policy 10 of the South Bucks Local Development Framework Core Strategy - adopted February 2011 and the Guidance Note, Implementation of Core Policy 10 (Employment); - Inadequate provision has been made within the application site for the provision and collection of refuse and recycling storage in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the Council's requirements. As such, the proposed development is contrary to Policies H9 and EP3 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999); - The unauthorised development is permitted to remain would be likely to act as a precursor to further proposal for similar forms of development at other comparable employment sites in New Denham and elsewhere in the District, which the Council as District Planning Authority would find increasingly difficult to resist, and which cumulatively would bring an undesirable loss of employment floorspace, which would be seriously detrimental to the provision of employment in the District.

4. In dismissing the appeal and upholding the enforcement notice, the Inspector determined that the appeal issues to be considered were:

- The effect of the development on the supply of employment sites in the District, and - Whether the development makes adequate provision for the collection of refuse and recycling storage.

Effect of the development the subject of the current application on the supply of employment sites in the District: 5. At paragraph 14 of the appeal decision, the Inspector concluded that the appellant had undertaken 'very limited marketing' that was not in accordance with the requirements of the Guidance Note (Policy CP10) and had not demonstrated, through evidence, their appeal case.

Page 69 Appendix

6. As part of the current application, the applicant has submitted a Planning Statement with appended evidence of the 12 month+ marketing exercise that has been undertaken in respect of the property, to accord with the Guidance Note. The comments of the Council's Policy Team are noted in that the marketing exercise is compliant with the requirements of the Guidance Note. This is a significant change to the conclusion that was reached by the Inspector in May 2017. The conclusion of the marketing exercise, as evidenced in the supporting documents, is that there is little reasonable prospect of the site being used for an economic use. The weight to be afforded to the evidence submitted by the applicant in this respect has been considered by the Planning Policy Team who have advised that the conclusions reached by the applicant are credible such that a departure from policy CP10 is acceptable in this case and a non-employment use is in principle acceptable.

Whether the development the subject of the application makes adequate provision for the collection of refuse and recycling storage: 7. At paragraph 19 of the appeal decision, the Inspector concluded that the development had not made adequate provision for collection of refuse and recycling storage and that the development did not, therefore, accord with Policies H9 and EP3 of the Adopted Local Plan. Under the current application a specific area of the site some 17 square metres in area, located in the north-east corner and adjacent to the site access from Willow Avenue has been allocated for refuse storage. The comments of the Council's Waste Team are noted in that the proposed area satisfies any previous concerns regarding a communal collection area. The proposed refuse area is satisfactorily accessible to the waste collection crews, is of an appropriate size, would not dominate the site and would be conveniently located for the occupiers of the HMO. As such, the proposal is compliant with Policies EP3 and H9 in this respect.

Other matters(use/residential amenity/parking and highways): 8. In assessing the expediency of formal enforcement action in respect of the unauthorised use, the LPA identified no other harm being caused as a result of the breach of planning control, for example by reason of residential amenity or highway safety. As such, no such reasons were cited in the enforcement notice that was subsequently issued in 2016. The observations of the Highway Authority are noted in that there is no objection to this application by reason of harm to highway safety. There have been no changes in circumstances at the site since the issue of the enforcement notice and subsequent appeal such that there is now reason to object to the proposed use of the site as a HMO. Accordingly, the use is considered to comply with Policies EP3, EP4, EP6, H9 and TR7 or the Adopted Local Plan and CP8 of the Adopted Core Strategy.

Working with the applicant 9. In accordance with section 4 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the Council, in dealing with this application, has worked in a positive and proactive way with the Applicant / Agent and has focused on seeking solutions to the issues arising from the development proposal.

10. South Bucks District Council works with applicants/agents in a positive and proactive manner by; - offering a pre-application advice service, - updating applicants/agents of any issues that may arise in the processing of their application as appropriate and, where possible and appropriate, suggesting solutions. In this case, the applicant has submitted amended details in order to overcome concerns raised by South Bucks District Council and which are now considered acceptable.

Page 73 Appendix

REASON FOR PLANNING COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION :

The application has been referred to the Planning Committee because South Bucks District Council It is a major application (consisting of more than 10 dwellings) and one objection has been received.

SITE LOCATION: The application site is 0.13 hectare parcel of land located on the north side of Bathurst Walk. The site is bound to the north by an un-adopted access road which serves Iver Railway Station.

Planning permission was granted under reference 17/01562/FUL for the demolition of the detached properties at 19 and 21 Bathurst Walk and the erection of a part three/part four storey building to accommodate 19 residential flats. The previous houses on site have now been demolished and work is underway to implement the previously approved scheme. The property adjacent to the common boundary to the east of the site (no. 17 Bathurst Walk) is a detached 1930's style two storey dwelling. To the west of the site is a purpose built development of 1960's origins known as Wellesley Court. Wellesley Court is a flat roofed four storey building which contains purpose built flats.

Opposite the site is a parade of shops which accommodate a number of local services. For the purposes of the Chiltern & South Bucks Townscape Character Study, the application site is within an area designated as a 'suburban road'.

THE APPLICATION: The application seeks the variation of condition 2 (approved plans) attached to planning permission 17/01562/FUL to allow for an external bin store to be constructed within the rear of the development.

The proposed bin store would be finished in timber and would be 3.7m in depth and 8.0m in width. The store would feature a flat roof at a maximum height of 2.6m

The previous internal and external areas which were earmarked for refuse storage under the previously approved plans would become common circulation space and storage.

No other changes are proposed. The assessment will therefore only consider the impact of these proposed changes.

APP/N0410/W/17/3185129; Appeal of above; Appeal Allowed: 12/04/2018

TOWN / PARISH COUNCIL COMMENTS: Iver Parish Council raises objections to this application. Can or will the bins be taken through the property to facilitate collection. Feel plan proposal may look aesthetically OK in terms of land use. The bin store is rather utilitarian and may be impractical to use/manage. Is this acceptable to SB/CDC refuse & recycling team?

REPRESENTATIONS: No responses were received in response to the neighbourhood consultation letters or the site notice which was erected adjacent to the application site.

County Highways: The proposed development has been considered by the County Highways Authority who has undertaken an assessment in terms of the impact on the highway network including net additional traffic generation, access arrangements and parking provision and are satisfied that the application would not have a material impact on the safety and operation of the adjoining public highway. The County Highway Authority therefore has no highway objections and in this instance no conditions to include on any planning consent that you may grant.

Crossrail: The implications of the Crossrail proposals for the application have been considered and I write to inform you that Crossrail Limited do not wish to make any comments on this application as submitted.

Landscaping: Landscape proposals are generally acceptable. However, further details are required in relation to the proposed planting.

Tree Officer: I have reviewed submitted information and I have no tree comments to make.

Waste Officer: Following comments confirming "a management company for the proposed flats would be responsible for transferring the waste bins from the storage areas to the designated collection point on bin collection days." Waste would have no objections to the proposal. The collection point will be adjacent to the property boundary on Bathurst Walk. The following containers would be required for the site 3 x 1100 litre ref; 3 x 1100 litre mixed rec; 1 x 1100 litre pap; 1 x 140 litre food.

Page 75 Appendix

Network Rail: No response received to date.

Sustainable Urban Drainage: Buckinghamshire County Council as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) has reviewed the information provided on the planning portal. The LLFA has no objection to the variation of condition 2.

Thames Water (Waste): No response received to date.

Thames Valley Police: Recommends a fob key accessed gate to the front east side of the development for the bin access.

Environmental Protection: I have no comments to make on behalf of the Strategic Environment Team.

POLICIES: National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), Revised February 2019. National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) South Bucks District Local Plan (adopted March 1999) (Saved policies): Local Plan Policies: EP3, EP4, EP5, EP6, H9, TR4, TR5 and TR7. South Bucks Local Development Framework Core Strategy (adopted February 2011): Core Strategy Policies: CP1, CP2, CP3, CP5, CP6, CP7, CP8, CP9, CP10, CP11, CP12 and CP13.

Other material considerations: Interim Guidance on Residential Parking Standards. South Bucks District Residential Design Guide SPD (published October 2008). South Bucks Townscape Character Study (published February 2014)

EVALUATION: Principle of Development: 1. This application is submitted under Section 73 of The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and seeks a variation of conditions attached to permission 17/01562/FUL. Applications made under Section 73 must be considered against the Development Plan and any other material considerations, under Section 38(6) of the 2004 Act, and conditions attached to the existing permission. The NPPG also states that "local planning authorities should, in making their decisions, focus their attention on national and development plan policies, and other material considerations which may have changed significantly since the original grant of permission".

Page 76 Appendix

2. The NPPF was revised on the 19th February 2019. However, the revisions would not affect the previous decision of the Planning Authority in relation to the development previously approved. As such the principle of the erection of a three/four storey building to accommodate 19 apartments is agreed and this current assessment will focus in on the proposed changes to the approved scheme and the impact on the character of the area and the impact on neighbouring amenities.

Housing Provision: 3. One of the primary aims of the NPPF is to significantly boost the supply of housing and the advice is clear that housing applications should be considered in the context of the presumption in favour of sustainable development. Paragraph 59 of the NPPF highlights that local authorities should plan for a mix of housing based on current and future demographic trends and needs of different groups within the community.

4. Apart from the revision of the NPPF in February 2019 there have not been significant changes to local planning policies since the granting of the previous permission on site under reference 17/01562/FUL. The current application does not seek to make any changes to the previously approved flats. The size and number of units would remain the same as approved under planning reference 17/01562/FUL. Therefore, the proposal would continue to make an efficient use of the existing site and considering the variety of dwellings within the Richings Park Estate would meet the aims and objectives of the Council's housing policies.

5. Core Policy CP3 of the Council's Core Strategy states that at least 40% of all dwellings in schemes of 5 units and above (gross) should be affordable, unless it is clearly demonstrated that this is not economically viable. In addition, the policy stipulates that affordable housing should normally be provided on site, but where there are sound planning or other reasons, and the developer and Council agree, a financial contribution in lieu of on-site provision, may be acceptable.

6. It is noted that both previous granted planning permissions on site under references 17/00494/FUL and 17/01562/FUL were assessed as not been viable in order to provide financial contributions in terms of affordable housing. Both of which were subject to a review by the DVS who confirmed that the no contribution could be made.

7. As highlighted above, there would be no change to the number, size or layout of the development. It is a material planning consideration that all pre-commencement conditions have been approved and the development has now started on site. Noting this, it is considered that the addition of an external bin store would not materially alter the previously approved scheme on site in terms of the quantum of affordable housing that should be provided.

8. Considering these points above, officers consider that it would not be proportionate to re-visit the viability of the scheme, owing to the small variation sought on the previously approved scheme. Therefore it is considered that the proposed development would align with the aims of the NPPF and Core Policies CP2 and CP3 of the South Bucks District Council Core Strategy (2011).

Design/Character & Appearance: 9. The current application seeks to amend the previously approved plans in order to facilitate an external bin storage area. There would be no changes to the scale, bulk and design of the three/four

Page 77 Appendix

storey development. Conditions in relation to the building materials for the proposed development have already been approved and work has commenced on site to implement planning permission 17/01562/FUL.

10. Local Plan policy EP3 states that development will only be permitted where its scale, layout, siting, height, design, external materials and use are compatible with the character and amenities of the site itself, adjoining development and the locality in general. Poor designs which are out of scale or character with their surroundings will not be permitted.

11 In terms of the scale and footprint of the proposed refuse storage building, the proposed structure would be considered modest in terms of bulk and scale.

12. The proposed building would be finished in timber with a flat roof. Officers consider that the proposed structure would not be at odds with the character of the area. Due to the suburban characteristics of Richings Park, rear outbuildings are a common feature in the locality.

13. Whilst the bin store would result in the loss of some soft landscaping, officers consider that this would not materially alter the overall scheme. A sufficient amount of soft and hard landscaping would remain on site and would not detract from the character of the area.

14. The Council's Landscaping Officer has reviewed the plans and has not raised any objection to the landscaping layout. However, further details in relation to planting details would be required. Therefore a condition would be recommended to ensure that these details are submitted for approval by the District Planning Authority.

15. Subject to above condition, the proposed changes in relation to design are considered to align with local plan policy EP3 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (1999).

Residential Amenity: 16. Local Plan policy EP3 requires regard to the amenities of adjacent properties. Policy EP5 states that development will be permitted only if it would provide for adequate daylight, and where possible sunlight, to reach into spaces around and between buildings and other physical features and would not result in a significant loss of daylight or sunlight to adjacent buildings or land.

17. As stated previously, the proposed footprint and height of the building would be identical to that as previously approved by the District Planning Authority. The variation of the approved plans seeks to implement an external bin storage to the rear of the development.

18. The proposed structure would be adjacent to the common boundary with no. 17 Bathurst Walk. However, it would be located over 12.0m from the rear elevation of this property.

19 Owing to the limited height of the structure and the nature of the existing boundary treatment, it is considered that the proposed structure would not appear visually obtrusive when viewed from the rear of no. 17.

Page 78 Appendix

20. Similarly, owing to the screening and distance from the rear of the nearest property at No. 17. Officers consider that there would not be unacceptable impacts in terms of potential noise and disturbance as a result of the proposed structure and its use.

21. The proposal is therefore considered to comply with Policies EP3, EP5 and H11 of the South Bucks District Local Plan.

Parking, Access and Highways: 22. The NPPF notes at paragraph 32 that authorities should seek to ensure that development achieves safe and suitable access to the site for all people, and paragraph 35 advises that authorities should seek to create safe and secure layouts which minimise conflicts between traffic, cyclists and pedestrians.

23. No changes are proposed in terms of the access arrangements and proposed parking quantum, therefore impacts in terms of highway safety and parking provision would remain satisfactory.

24. The Council’s Highway department has reviewed the application and have confirmed that they have no objections to the proposed amendments.

25. Noting the above, the proposed development would continue to comply with policy TR7 and appendix 6 of the South Bucks District Local Plan (1999).

Waste: 26. The proposed variation to the scheme would result in an external bin storage area. The Parish Council have raised the question of whether the proposed variation would be acceptable to the waste service team.

27. The refuse arrangements have been reviewed by the Council's Waste team. Due to the fact that the management company would be responsible for the kerbside transfer on collection days, the waste team would have no objections to the proposed bin store.

28. In addition, the Waste Team have stipulate the required bin sizes for a development of this size. The proposed bin store plan reveals that this standard would be met.

29. Overall, the proposed bins tore would align with the Councils standards in terms of waste provision and collection.

Other Issues: Sustainable Urban Drainage: 30. The previously approved scheme was approved subject to conditions in relation to groundwater drainage design and attenuation. These details in relation to these elements have subsequently been submitted to the Council and approved.

Page 79 Appendix

31. It is considered that the changes sought to provide an external bin storage would not materially impact on the drainage scheme on site. This has been confirmed by the Lead Local Flood Authority who have confirmed no objection to the variation of the scheme.

Secured by Design: 32. Conditions relating to secure by design principles have already been approved. However, it has been recommended that a secure gate is installed on the east side of the building in order to prevent unauthorised access to the refuse store at the rear. A side gate has been reflected on the plans and is therefore deemed satisfactory.

Other Conditions: 33. The previously approved scheme under 17/01562/FUL contained a number of pre-commencement conditions which were required to be approved before works on the scheme could start. However these were all agreed under various applications and conditions have been re-attached to this permission to ensure all aspects of the development are in accordance with the previously approved details.

Working with the applicant 34. In accordance with Section 4 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the Council, in dealing with this application, has worked in a positive and proactive way with the Applicant / Agent and has focused on seeking solutions to the issues arising from the development proposal.

35. South Bucks District Council works with applicants/agents in a positive and proactive manner by; - Offering a pre-application advice service. - Updating applicants/agents of any issues that may arise in the processing of their application as appropriate and, where possible and appropriate, suggesting solutions. In this case, South Bucks District Council has considered the amended details submitted which were considered acceptable

Conclusions: 36. It is considered that a fair and reasonable balance would be struck between the interests of the community and the human rights of the individuals concerned in the event of planning permission being granted in this instance.

37. The following recommendation is made having regard to the above and also to the content of the Human Rights Act 1998.
